ʻIsaia 39

1 ‌ʻI he kuonga ko ia naʻe ʻave ʻe Melotaki-Palatani ko e foha ʻo Palatani, ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻae ngaahi tohi mo e meʻa foaki kia Hesekaia: he kuo ne fanongo naʻe mahaki ia, pea kuo moʻui.

At that time Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and had recovered.

2 Pea naʻe fiefia ai ʻa Hesekaia, pea naʻa ne fakahā ʻae fale ʻo ʻene ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga, ʻae siliva, mo e koula, mo e ngaahi meʻa namu kakala, mo e lolo mahuʻinga, mo e fale kotoa ʻo ʻene mahafutau, pea mo ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻi hono ngaahi tukunga koloa: naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi hono fale, pe ʻi hono puleʻanga kotoa pē, naʻe taʻefakahā ʻe Hesekaia kiate kinautolu.

And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them.

3 Pea naʻe toki haʻu ʻa ʻIsaia ko e palōfita ki he tuʻi ko Hesekaia, pea pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻae lea ʻae kau tangata ni? Pea naʻa nau haʻu mei fē kiate koe?” Pea pehē ʻe Hesekaia, “Kuo nau haʻu mei he fonua mamaʻo kiate au, ʻio, mei Papilone.

Then came Isaiah the prophet to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What said these men? and from whence came they to thee? and Hezekiah said, They have come to me from a far country, [even] from Babylon.

4 Pea pehē ʻe ia, Ko e hā kuo nau mamata ai ʻi ho fale? Pea pehēange ʻe Hesekaia, “Ko ia kotoa pē ʻi hoku fale kuo nau mamata ki ai: ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi heʻeku koloa kuo u taʻefakahā kiate kinautolu.”

Then said he, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah answered, All that [is] in my house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them.

5 Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe ʻIsaia kia Hesekaia, “Fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau:

Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD of hosts:

6 Vakai, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻe fetuku ki Papilone ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ho fale, pea mo ia kuo tānaki ʻe hoʻo ngaahi tamai ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni: ʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe toe.

Behold, the days come, that all that [is] in thy house, and [that] which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.

7 Pea ko ho ngaahi foha ʻe tupu ʻiate koe, ʻaia te ke fakatupu, te nau ʻave; pea te nau hoko ko e kau talifekau ʻi he fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone.”

And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

8 Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Hesekaia kia ʻIsaia, “ʻOku lelei ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia kuo ke lea ʻaki.” Pea naʻa ne toe pehē, “Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻi hoku ngaahi ʻaho ʻoʻoku ʻae melino mo e moʻoni.”

Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good [is] the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
